"We're here in Clint, Texas, where last week our team broke the story of kids being held in deplorable conditions, according to lawyers that interviewed dozens of kids while they were here."

"No, it's a pen and pad tour as we talked about ... Because there's a protected class of citizens there, children."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Cedar Attanasio, Associated Press:

"After the Associated Press report, the Border Patrol allowed reporters to enter this facility for the first time since 2014. They didn't allow any cameras. They didn't allow us to speak with any of the people that were being detained. And, they had a very brief walk through, about a half an hour. They took some questions and they allowed us to look in at the cells where children are kept."

"You see dozens of children in individual cells. Some of them sleeping on bunk beds, some of them sleeping on cots that are on the floor. There were a lot of children that were sleeping in the middle of the day, particularly the teenagers, and some of the younger kids were up and active and playing."

"The Border Patrol has had five days to prepare this place. Even as we arrived, we saw soldiers putting up the finishing touches on sun shades outside and when we entered there, the areas where they store all their goods _ clean towels gauzes, baby bottles _ we saw that everything was really well stocked now. Lawyers based on their interviews with teenage mothers in the facility, for example, told us that mothers didn't have access to clean baby bottles. All of the baby bottles that we saw today were in their packaging, brand new."

"Today, they have installed monitors, for the first time, subcontractors wearing blue T-shirts whose job it is to monitor the children."

"What we saw today confirmed that it has very limited capacity, this facility. And that with more than 117 children, there wouldn't be enough beds for each child to sleep in a bed. So again, some of our reporting has been confirmed by this visit _ lack of beds _ and we did notice that a lot of the supplies like baby bottles that the lawyers said were lacking are here now after five days of the Border Patrol being able to prepare for a visit."

Storyline

U.S. officials were allowing the media on Wednesday to tour the Texas Border Patrol facility where migrant children were found in squalid conditions with inadequate food, water and sanitation.

A legal team last week publicly detailed the conditions at the Clint facility outside El Paso, the latest place where attorneys say young migrants are describing neglect and mistreatment at the hands of the U.S. government. No cameras were being allowed on the tour happening Wednesday afternoon as officials pushed back on the idea that children weren't provided with food and clothing.

Associated Press Immigration reporter Cedar Attanasio attended the tour and described the facility as having a "lack of beds" but adding supplies that lawyers had previously told the AP were lacking at the facility.

The attorneys' revelations last week led to public outcry and amid the upheaval the acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection resigned, deepening the sense of crisis at the agencies tasked with enforcing President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policy.
